WEBVTT - Christy & Will have big news! 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.360 Hi, Christie, they will. How are you really excited? I'm 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.480 really excited about did you have a good New Year 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.360 before we get into the amazing conversation we're about to have. Sure, Yeah, 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.120 I did, I really did. I I had a chaotic holiday, 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.600 just like everybody. I'm sure sure of course, But then 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:17.720 I have kids, so it couldn't have been more chaotic. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.040 You had probably a pretty relaxed holiday in comparison. No, 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.680 actually I did. I got to experience so my stepdaughter 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.440 and her my son in law. I get to now 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.920 say that officially. Um they I'm so grown up. They 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.000 came and spent the holiday with us, and I experienced 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.080 what it was like to have two children, kind of 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.640 because they brought their puppy and we have our puppy. 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.240 So the two of them bonded and became best friends, 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.440 and it was just a restly, run around crazy Now. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.000 I don't know much about children, but I imagine it's 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.960 kind of the same. You let him run around all day, 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.360 you throw him a treat, and you throw them in 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.960 a crate, so that it's just like kids, right him 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.280 in what I know what you're saying, because during Thanksgiving 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.679 my brother came and brought his puppy and his three sons, 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.400 and then I had two daughters. But that was Thanksgiving 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.520 chaos and that was next level. But did you cook? Uh? 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:15.759 Not for Thanksgiving and also Christmas? So that's the right there. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.600 Don't do that. Just hosts and then figure out how 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.200 to clean it all up. Okay, fair enough. Two dogs, 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.280 I'm going to say equal one toddler, So imagine what 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.320 you experienced times too. That's just I'm not even going 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.399 to imagine that. I'm not even going to take the 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.800 time to imagine that horrifying event. And I'm sure there's 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.240 love and joy and imagine in it as well somewhere, 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.080 but yeah, it's just not for everyone. You live and 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.480 you learn will did you did you make it till 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.240 midnight on New Year's I always like, well, it's my anniversary. 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.360 So actually Christmas Eve is my oldest daughter's birthday.

So I 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.559 got in touch with my friends a critical role and 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.319 my friends have their season two of the Legend of Oxmachina, 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.680 which is premiering January. I'm very excited. It's already been 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.600 announced so I can say that I'm also on the 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.760 second season. I'm really excited about this. I learned how 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.079 to play Dungeon Dragons with my friends over a critical role. 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.520 Their show has exploded. It is a hundred percent fresh 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.880 on on Rotten Tomatoes, the first season of Oxmachina. It 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:27.600 is a worldwide phenomenon that they built my friends from 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:32.000 the ground up by themselves playing D and D together. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.240 It is so inspiring every time I go there and 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.679 I watch what they're doing. They are still such a family. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.400 They have built it together and it is incredible. So 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.480 I went over to them and I said, Hey, I'm 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.880 doing this contest. Christy and I are doing this together. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.080 I hear voices, is there anything you guys can do 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.720 for us? And they said, oh man, we would love to. So, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.600 in addition to all the other prizes we've given you, 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:03.000 Sam Regal, Emmy Award winning director Sam Regal and Mary McGlenn, 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.800 who is the director of the Legend of Ooxmachina, are 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.600 going to be taking the winner under their wing and 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:14.079 giving them h a tutoring session, and they're going to 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.680 teach you everything you're gonna need to know about being 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.440 a voice over actor. But Sam and Mary they don't 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.000 actually do coaching. Like that's not like they're no thing, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.600 but like that's insane. That's once in a lifetime, like 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.920 I've not even worked with No, it's gonna be working 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.120 with Sam, which I've gotten. I've actually gotten a chance 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.160 to work with both of them again because because of 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.120 the Legend of Voxmachina Um. Sam also put me on 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.079 DC Superhero Girls and and Future Worm and some other stuff. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.120 Sam is verifiably like he can also I mean, you 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:47.640 know if he likes your voice, well, I mean yeah, 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.920 I mean this is this is again. So man, there's 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.760 such a funny joke that my mother used to always 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.960 say to me as a kid when I was growing 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.600 up auditioning for everything. I would walk out and I 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.640 would say I didn't get it, and I'd hang my 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.120 head low and I take the bus back to Connecticut 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.200 and my mom would would always say to me, Hey, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.160 you never know if they're going to remember you for 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.520 something in the future, and that's such it's so true 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.400 in our industry. Well not to mention, I think that 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.120 someone's going to remember somebody that wanted the contest, and like, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.400 is this unique? I mean, this is a very cool 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.880 backstory for like like a hero origin story that we're like, right, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.760 talk about a great origin story. It's you know you 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.079 you then get into a booth with Sam with Mary 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.800 um so it's yeah, you get one coaching session with 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.000 with Sam and Mary. It's going to be phenomenal. We 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.000 have um not been able to talk about that aspect 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.960 of the show yet, the critical role aspect of the show. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.360 I don't know about you. I've been I've been ecstatic. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.840 I've been better. Do you feel better talking about it 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.160 now that it's out the secrets? I do? I do? 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.600 I think they should instantly, Christie, turn into an episode 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.040 of Vulnerable where I just tell you how happy I 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.680 am and excited and relieved I am should be talking 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.680 about finally doing the contest, and you know, glad for you. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.520 I'm getting vulnerable, Christie. You have trauma from holding this 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.319 inside of yourself, I do I have it from No, 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.480 it's not have to walk back what your mom said 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.800 when you were a kid not getting those auditions. Then 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.720 we got out from my head was going instantly going 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.560 back to U two. We're going to go right from 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.840 an episode of A Vulnerable to an episode of pod 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.640 Meats World. We're gonna be looking at looking at season three.

She has been fighting me like, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.640 don't say it will don't that's it. That's what I said, 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.240 don't say that. That is a total lie. By the way, 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.479 like why aren't we calling it a big break? It's 0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.880 a big break? And I was like, I don't want 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:04.040 to hopes up.
